“It is acceptable to wear red to a wedding. It is a very festive color and goes quite well, especially for fall and holiday-season weddings. However, it is important to be mindful of the culture of the happy couple. For example, in some cultures, Chinese and Indian, it is highly inappropriate to wear the color red. The bride will typically wear two dresses, and one of those dresses is traditionally the color red. So before you pull out that red dress, double-check to be sure the color is acceptable for the wedding you’ll attend.” — Elaine Swann, Etiquette Expert
